3.7%.

To calculate the civilian unemployment rate, we divide the number of unemployed individuals (6097) by the civilian labor force (166818) and multiply by 100.

(6097 / 166818) x 100 = 3.7%
b. The civilian unemployment rate including persons who are underemployed​ (part-time for economic​ reasons) is
4.5%.

To calculate the unemployment rate including persons who are underemployed (part-time for economic reasons), we need to add the number of individuals who are employed part-time for economic reasons (2582) to the number of unemployed individuals (6097) and then divide that sum by the civilian labor force (166818) and multiply by 100.

(6097 + 2582) / 166818 x 100 = 4.5%
